Hey everyone,
since YouTube started annoying us with their “disable ad blocker” thing, I managed to get rid of it by uBlock Origin and a Tampermonkey script. Yet, the stupid popup is back. To everyone who’s gotten rid of it until now: What did you do? Can you point me to the resources you used? It’s annoying!
I just use uBlock Origin (without any additional scripts) and whenever it stops working I update the filter lists manually (it updates them automatically every now and then).
Which lists do you use?
I use the standard ones plus everything under “Annoyances”.
Just the standard ones. Do a purge and a manual update. So long as the script has been updated, you’ll be good to go
Not using the default ones is a probable cause for why your browser gets flagged. Restore to default settings and make sure you don’t have other adblockers enabled (such as the one built into YouTube Enhancer add-on) If you still get the pop-up you can update the “quick fixes” list or wait an hour or so for the uBlock team to catch up with Google’s latest updates to the detection script.
The problem is, I use far more sites than Youtube, and the other filter lists are needed here. AFAIK I haven’t been able to find a switch on uBO that makes a site use only a specific set of filters, so if I want good internet experience it has to be the default filters and some more, or nothing.
Looks like there is a syntax to set a custom rule to exclude a domain from a particular filter list. Honestly I couldn’t be arsed to figure it out at work and Google has been ruined by SEO but there is a way!!
How do you update manually? It won’t let me anymore since an update (the update button is always grayed out now)
You can click the clock icon next to the list/group you want to update as well.
Thanks, I’ll try this!
